Product Insights & Style Tips

The mood is sun washed and playful, a checkerboard print that nods to retro surf culture with a modern lift. Boardies Checkerboard Print Swim Trunks are cut from a lightweight, quick-drying fabric made entirely from recycled plastic bottles, keeping the feel airy in and out of the water. A mesh liner sits against the skin as you move from salt air to sidewalk, delivering a low-key beach vibe with everyday practicality.

Fit is easy and swim ready: elastic and a drawstring waist let you tailor the fit, while a 4 1/2" inseam, a 12" front rise, and a 12 1/2" leg opening keep things in place. A trio of pockets adds practical storage: side welt pockets and a back patch pocket with a drainage grommet to shed water. The mesh liner supports comfort and quick-dry speed. Care is simple—machine wash, tumble dry. These trunks move from water to land with ease, pairing with tees or tanks on busier days.

Boardies leans into playful prints and eco friendly materials, marrying retro charm with modern sustainability. The print nods to vintage surf style, while REPREVE recycled polyester signals a forward looking approach to beach wear.

Style Check

Aesthetics: 9/10

Bold checkerboard print makes an instant statement, capturing a playful yet modern beach mood. The compact 4 1/2 inch inseam and slim leg opening skew toward sporty editorial styling, while the elastic drawstring waist delivers practical comfort. Paired with flip flops or mules, the contrast feels fresh and street-ready.

Craftsmanship: 7/10

Performance fabric via REPREVE recycled polyester yields a light, quick-drying feel that suits water and land rounds. The trunk includes practical pockets, a mesh liner, and a back patch pocket with drainage grommet, signaling thoughtful design. Visible stitching lines and clean finishes imply solid craft, though the photo hints at casual, not couture, execution.

Affordability: $$$

Price sits at a premium for swim trunks with a bold checker motif and recycled materials. The value feels justified by the performance fabric, thoughtful pocketing, and water ready construction. While not the lowest in category, the striking visual and eco friendly sourcing help the cost align with its editorial appeal.
